@SabbySabs2 Does he really want Epstein's friends in prison or is it all a show? They could do something if they really wanted to. I'm not buying their bullshit anymore.

It’s Thomas Massie or the Epstein class.

@salmaiorana @DandC If history is any predictive of the future, it will never end for Buffalo pro sports. We should all be filthy rich betting against the Sabres and the Bills being the last teams standing at the end of their seasons.

As it always does in Buffalo, another season ends in horrifying heartbreak, this time it was the #Sabres as they lose Game 7 in OT. Man, is it ever going to end? Here are my observations: democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/h… via @DandC

I hope you will listen to this excellent podcast on Vietnam and Ho Chì Minh realprogressives.org/mnc-podcast-ep…

@CardDead1 @ProudSocialist Should he have dropped bombs on a little girl's school, capitalist style?

Mangione shot a man in the back communist style. Not surprising "Proud Socialist" is so supportive. We conservatives applaud your right to free speech so your depravity is exposed for all to see. Socialists are parasites unable to produce anything of value; they only survive by stealing from workers they pretend to value. My analogy, capitalism builds skyscrapers; socialism destroys them and sells the copper pipes.

BREAKING: In a win for Luigi Mangione the judge rules the cops conducted an illegal search and seizure violating Luigi’s 4th amendment rights since they didn’t have a search warrant. All items found in Luigi’s backpack at the Pennsylvania McDonald’s will not be allowed at trial. The judge is allowing the gun to be used at trial since cops claim they didn’t find the gun until they got back to the police station. This has always been the most suspicious part of the case because how did the cops miss the gun at McDonalds? The cops could have easily planted the gun in Luigi’s backpack on their way to the station, which is what Luigi’s lawyers should argue.

Trump just got exposed for running the biggest insider trading operation in American history. Nancy Pelosi traded $5 million in stocks and Congress lost its mind. Trump literally executed $750 MILLION worth of stock trades in ONE quarter while being President. His ethics filing just dropped and the numbers are genuinely unprecedented in history: Between January and March 2026, Donald Trump personally executed 3,700 individual stock transactions worth between $220 million and $750 million. That's roughly 60 trades PER DAY. While signing executive orders, meeting foreign leaders, and making policy decisions that directly impact the companies he's buying and selling. Now here's where it gets really insane: On February 10, Trump bought between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell stock. Three months later, on May 8, he stood at a Mother's Day event at the White House, thanked Michael Dell by name, and told Americans to "go out and buy a Dell." Dell stock surged 14.6% that day to an all-time high of $263.99. Since Trump's February purchase, Dell is up 96%. And 5 months BEFORE Trump bought Dell stock, Michael and Susan Dell donated $6.25 billion to Trump Accounts, one of the largest philanthropic commitments to a sitting president's signature program in modern history. So the timeline goes: Dell donates $6.25 billion to Trump's program -> Trump buys Dell stock ->Trump tells America to buy Dell from the White House podium -> Stock hits all-time high And that's just ONE stock... The same filing shows Trump bought Nvidia stock on February 10. One week later, Nvidia announced a massive chip deal with Meta. He bought more Nvidia stock one week BEFORE his own Commerce Department approved the sale of Nvidia chips to Saudi Arabia. He bought Intel stock starting in March 2026. The US government already owned a 9.9% stake in Intel worth over $41 billion. On April 30, Trump posted on Truth Social praising Intel, writing that "Intel Stock continues to rise." Intel jumped 3% in after-hours and is now up 140% year-to-date. He bought Palantir stock while his administration was actively handing them billion-dollar government contracts for immigration enforcement and defense. He bought Robinhood stock while his own Trump Accounts program uses Robinhood as the broker. He's currently sitting on over 100% profit on AMD, Intel, Bloom Energy, Marvell Technology, and at least 10 other positions. Every single president since Lyndon B. Johnson has used a blind trust to avoid exactly this situation. But Trump didn't. His assets sit in a trust controlled by his own children, and the filings show a broker acted as agent on several trades. The White House says the portfolio is "independently managed." But here's what independently managed looks like: Buy Dell stock. Three months later, publicly endorse Dell from the White House. Stock hits all-time high. Buy Nvidia stock. One week later, your own government approves their chip sales. Stock rips. Buy Intel stock. Post about Intel on Truth Social. Stock jumps. The government you run already owns a 10% stake. Buy Palantir. Hand them contracts. Buy Robinhood. Route a federal program through their platform. Nancy Pelosi got absolutely destroyed for her husband's stock trades. Her husband's total disclosed trades in his most controversial year were worth roughly $5 million. Trump just disclosed up to $750 MILLION in a single quarter. While making the actual policy decisions that move these stocks. This isn't a left or right issue. We're talking about the President of the United States averaging 60 stock trades per day in companies his own administration regulates, contracts with, and publicly endorses. What do you think?

@Ric_RTP I think there is no democracy in this country. It is bought and sold. Absolutely corrupt and if you think voting will make a difference, you have your head in the sand.

@JeremyWard33 It's just not good for empty equity company owned office buildings.

There's a few companies that get it: Remote work is better for the employer and the employee

@danfetes 🤣

New York State Broadcasting Hall of Famer Mike Catalana.

@JeremyWard33 Robots didn't stop them either yet AI and Robots are blamed for the loss of American jobs.

Why capitalism sucks in one headline

@MikeCatalana A fan out of the stands.

Sabres drum banging list 1. Sandra Jeanneret W Comeback win 2 Josh Allen L Bad loss 3 Blade Gang L OT loss 4 William Fichtner W 4-2 win 5 Ryan Miller L Blowout loss 6 Jason Pominville L Bad loss Great players 0-3 Non pro athletes 2-0 Gangs 0-1 Who do you want for game 7?

Why should I follow any rules in this society? I didn't ask to bomb Iran or Libya,Syria, Venezuela, Gaza, etc. I didn't ask to have my livelihood sent to China or anywhere else. I didn't ask to torture people or bomb schools and hospitals. I just want to live out a nice life.

@WGR550 It's over

Powerplay goal for the Habs, and they've flipped the script with two straight goals. 2-1 Montreal. #Sabres

@SocialistMMA @Baudib1

@TheScholar44 @RichardJMurphy Of course. They work inside a framework of laws and regulations. I don't think you can on one hand imply that rates are being pressured up by consensus then on the other hand say they are flat and not moving up as an argument against collusion.

@CoppiniTp25899 @RichardJMurphy No, it would totally prove it Do you understand how the financial markets work?

We keep being told that bond markets may veto democratic choices, but that is not fiscal responsibility: it is the normalisation of financial power over elected government. The real question is who democracy is meant to serve. Is it people or money? theguardian.com/business/2026/…

@matthewstoller Meanwhile, Trump is not trying to bring those jobs back home but instead trying to get those jobs to move out of China and into India.

The left is very confused about China, because they imagine that 'hawk' means someone who seeks war. But that's not correct, it's a Wall Street strategy to intentionally conflate protecting American working people with military conflict. thebignewsletter.com/p/the-efficien…

@davidsirota Any Republicans on board? No? I didn't think so. It's just more gaslighting that is meant to go nowhere to corral votes for the midterm. When will people learn?

issue a press release touting a “reform” proposal crafted to undercut Medicare For All

@TheScholar44 @RichardJMurphy Wouldn't that also make you consensus excuse just as funny?

@CoppiniTp25899 @RichardJMurphy The idea that bond traders are colluding to massively move the price of gilts and none of them are hoovering up is what's funniest

@StephanieKelton @CarolynMcC How about free catastrophic healthcare?

This is something @CarolynMcC has been pushing for more than a decade. I made the case in a 2018 opEd. You need to build A LOT of capacity to do M4A or PCA. nytimes.com/2018/01/31/opi…

@TheScholar44 @RichardJMurphy Of course it's collusion. They are getting together on this. It's not coincidence. But they are part of the Epstein class and laws don't apply to them.

@CoppiniTp25899 @RichardJMurphy There is. See LIBOR case recently This isn't collusion, it's simply consensus view of lending risk Same as bill gates could borrow 1000 quid at lower interest rates than a bankrupt could
